PAPER BARRELS.

The growing scarcity of the timber
supply and the cost of wooden barrels
has at different times during the last
twenty years led to various attempts
to produce paper barrel which would
answer all the purposes for which the
wooden barrel is used. These at
tempts, however, have been attended
with no practical success until recent
ly, when barrel was produced from
paper pulp which seems destined to
supersede the wooden article. It's gen.
eral appearance is that of the common
wooden barrel thickly vanished, while
only five pieces are used in making il.
1t is bound with ordinary wooden
hoops and the head of one piece. 80
constructed that it fits into the barrel
air tight and is held firmly in place by
hoop without the use of nails. The
body is seamless and the interior and
exterior are glazed with substance
which renders the barrel impervious
to moisture, so that liquids of all
kinds can be transported in 1t withou,
loss.
1t Is also very strong and stiff, not
easily broken as the nature of the
compressed paper is such that neither
dry or damp weather affects 1t, the
contents retain all their aromatic
qualities. There are numerous Othel
excellent qualities claimed for this bar
rel. ..
Thomas Dougherty, the chief flour
inspector OF the New York Produce
Exchange, certifies that he had in.
spected $50 barrels OF flour which had
been shipped from distance In these
paper barrels and had found them to be
all sound. 1t generally happens when
-four is shipped in wooden barrels that
quantity of it sits through the
cracks where the slaves join and is lost
1t was found by weighing the floul
shipped in paper barrels that none Of
it had been lost in this manner.
The pulp used In the production o
these barrels is obtainable from any
! fib ols III sance, and as there II
hardly locality where some such
substance does not grow, the barrels
! can be Manufactured almost anywhere
The bulk of the wood used for thu
manufacture of barrels is now brough
from Western Ohio, Indiana, Michi
gan and Wisconsin. and as the supply
Is constantly decreasing there the diff
Guilty and expense Of obtaining th'
timber is increasing. Theinventors o
this process for making these barrel
say that the weeds and rank grasse
which grow on the meadows lying be
tween Jersey City and Newark, N. ].
will produce an excellent pulp for thi
purpose, and that thus these practi
cally waste lands may he made pro
ductive and profitable. The cost Q
manufacturing these paper barrels
no greater than that of making tn
wooden article, and, with the patente
machine. 1t is said that two men ca
produce 600 barrels in day,

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July Is, 1857
One OF the most noticeable and remark
able faults Of the Democratic Admins
tration is the marvellous boom in zeal es
tate, IN certain favored localities of the
Federal City, a movement not bona fide,
but stimulated by the deft Vaccinations
OF ring of landed gamblers. who are
coiniHg fl ftrtunes out CT their ehrewd en-
terprises. Though strange and startling

FARM NOTES.

Aside from the potato crop the onion
crop is the most important vegetable
crop grown, and under culture is an
exceedingly profitable crop. They
yield from 300 TO 500 bushels per acre.
according TO the nature of the soil and
culture, and rarely sell for less than
80 cents per bushel, while they not
unirequently are worth as high as one
dollar. The soil must be rich and
thoroughly and deeply pulverized. A
rich, loamy soil is the best. Manure
heavily with well-rotted manure. The
soil cannot be made too rich. 1t is
useless to try to grow onions on poor
soil or in a shiftless manner. A few
days neglect when the weeds are
growing rapidly, or weeks delay in
sowing after the ground Is in a suita-
BILE condition in the spring will often
ruin the crop. There is no crop in
which thorough culture will bring
larger returns. A top dressing of wood
ashes applied after the second wedding
will be- found to greatly improve the
crop.
Americans probably invest more
money in farming tools than any other
people. BY the census of 1880 the
value of agricultural implements made
the previous year was 1858, 200, 900.
Ten years is long life 10 the average
|ot farm tools, and many are worthless
after three or four years use or rust.
1t Is probable that the entire amount
invested In farm tools now in use is
nearly or quite 81, 600, 900, 600.
If q flooring of boards is used when
the poultry house is built, 1t will be
advisable to cover the house with dry
earth. II in dry spot. the floor may
be dispensed with and the earth may
be used for the floor. The tainted
earth can occasionally be removed to
the depth of six or eight inches and
its place supplied with fresh earth. II
dependence Is placed upon an earth
floor, it must Of curse be a little
above the surrounding ground, to pro
vide good drainage. 1t is cheaper to
build the house upon a little knoll OF
rise of ground, or to raise little
mound OF earth before the house is
built, than TO carry the earth into the
structure afterward.
Successful culture of apples mus
provide good food for the trees. W.
never saw the soil too rich tor the ap
|ple. Kitchen ashes, in which the table
refuse Is thrown, is an excellent tor
dressing for apples. We like top dress
ing better than any other system o
manure for apple trees. Even Lict
ditch scrapings are good to top dresi
with where nothing else offers.
Each breed predominates in som,
particular characteristic. The Jersey
COW is expected to produce the larges
possible amount of cream from Ger
tain quantity of milk and from th,
smallest allowance of food necessary
for that purpose. The Holstein il
noted for its ability 10 give large guam
titles of milk, as well as excelling as
butter-producer.

There is one thing very noticeable at
all the resorts this summer, too, and
that il the red-headed girls are inn
mensely popular all round. That must
be because they are so agreeable. A
red-headed girl is sure to be jolly, Just
as homely girl is sure to be bright.
There is no nonsense either about a
red-headed girl. She is full of courage
aud strength Many Of the pluckiest
and most daring swimmers here have
hair Of the cardinal hue. There were
so many Of the girls in bathing this
morning that the surf reminded one Of
strawberry water ice. Afterwards the
girls stood out on the beach wringing
the sea water out of their long, thick
tresses. When half-dozen Of them
got in a row. with their shining hair
flowing out behind them, you might
have fancied, il you had good imagin-
alton, that thcre was a new sunset at
eleven o'clock in the morning, and one,
too, that might put the old sunset TO
the blush. -Phitadelphi Press.

AN ARTIFICIAL SEA.
The Curious Work Carried Out In runis By
French Omoer.

The Curious Work Carried Out In Tunh by
French Onoer.
Sir f. de Lesseps has lately COM
municated to- the Institution Of Civil
Engineers an interesting account Of q
curious work carried out In Tunis by
Colonel Roudaire. This gentleman ap-
pears to have spent many years in
Tunis leveling. boring and making ex-
periments of various kinds, and has
come TO the conclusion that four de-
pressions, or "shotts," MS he terms
them, which he names Tedjed, Djerid,
Rharsa and Melrir. and are situated
seventy-sevcn fcot six inches below the
sea level, could by means OF cana! be
readily fornied into a large inland sea
or lake, which would have the effect Of
influencing for good the climate and
fertility Of the surrounding country to
a considerable degree.
This lake is stated to be 5, i64 square
miles in extent. In order to prepare
for the vast expense with such an nu-
dertaking must involve, the Colonel
proposes to,sink artesian wells, for tho
purpose Of eultivating the country; and
the rent paid for the water thus OBJ
tanned miglt be applied, the whole or
In part, towards the construction Of tho
proposed canal. In 1855 the first well
was sunk to tho depth Of 296 feet, when
water was found flowing at an average
of 1,7sO gallons per minute the first
year, which has now increased 10 49,.
800 gallons per minute. Sir 7. de Les
seps says:
Tho banks of the River Melah.
which fifteen months ago werc deserts,
are now populated, and very shortly
the canal Is TO be commenced, so that
the civilization Of the French-African
possessions must come from below
that is to say, must Of necessity depend
for water supply OF wells only."--
